Please remember that a
microwave
oven only heats
the
liquid in a
container rather than
the container
itself.
Therefore,
even though the
lid of a container
is not
hot to the
touch when removed
from the
oven, please remember
that the
food/liquid inside will be
releasing
the same amount of
steam and/or
spitting when the lid
is removed as
in conventional
cooking.

Always test the temperature of
cooked food yourself
especially if
you are heating or cooking food/
liquid for
babies. It is advisable
never to consume food/liquid
straight from the oven but allow it
to stand for a few
minutes and stir
food/liquid to distribute heat
evenly.
13.
Food containing a mixture of fat
and water,
e.
g.stock,should stand for 30-60
seconds in the oven
after it has
been turned off . This is to allow the
mixture
to settle and to prevent
bubbling when a spoon is
placed in
the food/liquid or a stock cube is
added.
